Boil Them Cabbage Down. (Or Not.)

I’m now three months into my CSA share, and while summer produce is still hanging on, I’m getting a few cooler weather staples now, like apples and cabbage. And speaking of cabbage, now I can’t stop tapping my feet and pretending to play the banjo.

Green chili pepper: While these chiles are at their peak, I’m going to roast and freeze them to use later in the winter.

Peaches: They’re still coming, although I only got two this week instead of the usual five or six. I’ll probably just eat them outright, but if you have more peaches to burn through, and you haven’t yet made this Peach Yogurt Cake with Cinnamon Glaze, get to it already!

Apples: I’ll be honest — these are starting to pile up in my crisper drawer! I think I’ll make a big batch of apple chips this week.

Tomatoes: This week I’m freezing my tomatoes. Although it seems sad not to indulge in them, I know I’ll be grateful come January when I can pull out a bag of tomatoes frozen at their peak to throw into a sauce or soup.

Sweet corn: As you all pointed out in last week’s post, late season corn really is the best and sweetest. I plan to enjoy it straight off the cob this week, Mexican-style.
